Wake to the sound of the ocean and watch the morning light move across the water at Seaglass House, a thoughtfully restored beach cottage overlooking Tasmania’s East Coast. This relaxed coastal home is made for unhurried mornings, days spent exploring and quiet evenings around the outdoor fire pit. Large windows frame the sea, keeping the coastline firmly in view throughout your stay.



Originally built in the 1980s, Seaglass House has been lovingly restored while retaining the warmth and character of a classic East Coast beach cottage.



The sun filled living area is positioned to make the most of the ocean outlook, with generous windows overlooking the water. Settle in with a coffee, gather around the dining table or simply watch the changing conditions across the coast.



A stone fireplace adds character to the living space, while collected pieces and natural textures give the home a welcoming, lived in feel.



The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed for an easy stay, including a pod coffee machine. A washing machine and dryer are also available for longer visits and days spent at the beach.



The beautifully finished bathroom features a spacious double shower and a natural stone basin set on locally crafted Tasmanian sassafras.



Seaglass House accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms:

Main bedroom: King bed

Second bedroom: Queen bed

Third bedroom: Two single beds



Comfortable beds and crisp linen provide a restful place to return to after exploring the coast.



Outside

Step outside with your morning coffee and listen to the waves rolling into Paddy’s Beach, or enjoy an evening drink as the light fades over the water.



The outdoor fire pit overlooks the ocean and may be used when conditions allow. Firewood is often stored beside the house. Fires must remain small, supervised and fully contained within the designated fire pit.



The area is also known for its wildlife. Depending on the season, you may spot dolphins or migrating whales offshore, while nearby Scamander is a wonderful location for coastal walks and wildlife watching. After dark, clear nights often reveal an impressive display of stars.



Guest access

Guests have private access to the entire house.

Paddy’s Beach is located directly across the road. Beach access points can be found approximately 300 metres from the house in either direction.
